The writers of this blog are not music critics, and they don't consider a second (or third, fourth or fifth) mortgage to be a perfectly reasonable course of action to pay for front-row tickets, but despite being a whole lot more middle aged than they were when they first put \x34Born in the U.S.A.\x34 or \x34The River\x34 down on the turntable, still feels like Bruce has something -- OK, a lot of things -- to say about our country and the way we live our lives, things that not a lot of other artists are saying. And whether he's talking about the knife that can cut this pain from your heart, the house that's waiting for you to walk in or what that flag flying over the courthouse means, he's nailing down feelings that are so universal that they can raise your spirits and break your heart at the same time. Plus, let¹s face it, the man rocks.

After a day of rumors, it’s finally official! Bruce Springsteen’s newest single, High Hopes, will be released on November 25, 2013. High Hopes was originally released by Scott McConnell’s band The Havalinas in 1990, and Springsteen covered it for the B-side of his 1996 EP Blood Brothers.
The song was resurrected in March 2013 during the Wrecking Ball tour in Australia. Now the question remains: Will the new album be Tracks 2 or a collection of covers? Only time will tell! In the mean time here’s High Hopes from March 20, 2013 in Sydney, Australia.
